Moisture content.

Bread will lose moisture to the atmosphere and so become hard whereas a cookie (biscuit to us brits) will absorb moisture out of the atmosphere and become soft.

That’s why a jaffa cake is a cake.

Edit: OK, OK! I made the mistake of thinking it was the same process for bread as it is for cake! Enough with the corrections! Lol
